Begomovirus is a major challenge in pepper production. Dr Sota Koeda (Associate Professor, Kindai University, Japan) presents breeding strategies to develop resistant capsicum varieties. Recorded at the 27th International Pepper Conference (Bangkok, Thailand, January 19–22, 2026), this talk focuses on developing resistance to begomoviruses in peppers through advanced breeding techniques. It discusses the use of genetic resistance genes, marker-assisted selection, and gene pyramiding to achieve durable resistance in capsicum crops. #PepperConference #Begomovirus #PlantBreeding #Capsicum #IPC2026
